1. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

II. General Information on Data Processing

1. Scope of the Processing of Personal Data

We process the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide our services. The processing of our users’ personal data regularly takes place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

2. Data Deletion and Storage Duration

Data is stored if this is provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The personal data of the data subject may be deleted or restricted as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies or statutory retention periods have expired.

III. Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device.

The following data is collected:

• Information about the browser type and version used
• The user’s operating system
• The user’s Internet service provider
• The first three bytes of the user’s IP address
• Date and time of access
• Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Purpose of Data Processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s device. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

3. Duration of Storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this occurs no later than seven days. Storage beyond this period is possible. In such cases, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or anonymized so that an assignment to the accessing client is no longer possible.

4. Right to Object and Removal Option

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.

IV. Use of Cookies

a) Description and Scope of Data Processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user’s computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is accessed again.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the accessing browser can be identified even after a page change.

The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

• Language settings
• Log-in information

b) Purpose of Data Processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser can be recognized even after a page change.

We require cookies for the following purposes:

• Retention of language settings
• Remembering search terms

User data collected through technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing personal data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

c) Duration of Storage, Right to Object, and Removal Option

Cookies are stored on the user’s device and transmitted from there to our website. Therefore, users have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website fully.

V. Contact Form and Email Contact

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

On our website, there will be a contact form (currently under development) that can be used for electronic contact. If a user uses this option, the data entered in the form will be transmitted to us and stored. This data includes:

At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored:

• The email address
• The user’s IP address

Alternatively, contact can be made via the provided email address. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.

In this context, no data will be shared with third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2. Purpose of Data Processing

The processing of personal data from the contact form is used solely to handle the contact request. In the case of contact via email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

Other personal data processed during the submission process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

3. Duration of Storage

The data is archived as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data from the contact form and data sent via email, this is the case once the conversation with the user has concluded. A conversation is considered concluded when it is evident from the circumstances that the matter has been finally resolved.

4. Right to Object and Removal Option

Users can revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If a user contacts us via email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

All personal data stored during the contact process will be deleted in this case.

VI. Rights of the Data Subject

If personal data about you is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. Right of Access

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed.

If such processing exists, you can request access from the controller to the following information:

• The purposes for which the personal data is being processed;
• The categories of personal data being processed;
• The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed;
• The planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific details are not possible, the criteria for determining the storage period;
• The existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing;
• The existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
• All available information about the source of the data, if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
• The existence of automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and—in such cases—meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information on whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to Rectification

You have the right to request rectification and/or completion from the controller if the personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must correct the data without undue delay.

3. Right to Restriction of Processing

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of processing of your personal data:

• If you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you, allowing the controller to verify its accuracy;
• If the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of its use;
• If the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
• If you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been applied under the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to Erasure

a) Obligation to Delete

You can request that the controller delete personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

• The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
• You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
• You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
• The personal data concerning you has been unlawfully processed.
• The erasure of personal data concerning you is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
• The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to services offered by the information society pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

b) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:

• For exercising the right to freedom of expression and information;
• To comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
• For reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) lit. h and i and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
• For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, to the extent that the right to erasure under section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of such processing;
• For the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

5. Right to Notification

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing with the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.

6. Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that:

• The processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR; and
• The processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that personal data concerning you be transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other individuals must not be affected.

7. Right to Object

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you that is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for purposes of direct marketing, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – you have the option to exercise your right to object through automated means using technical specifications.

8. Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out based on consent up to the point of withdrawal is not affected by the withdrawal.

9. Automated Individual Decision-Making Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:

• Is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
• Is permitted under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and such law contains suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
• Is based on your explicit consent.

However, such decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.

In the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the controller takes appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain human intervention from the controller, to express your own point of view, and to contest the decision.

10. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant about the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

Liability for Content

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with § 7 (1) TMG under general laws. However, pursuant to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, we are not obliged as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored external information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected. Liability in this regard is only possible from the point at which a specific legal infringement becomes known. Upon becoming aware of such legal violations, we will immediately remove the content.

Liability for Links

Our offer contains links to external websites of third parties, over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for these external contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking.

Permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete indications of a legal violation. Upon becoming aware of legal violations, we will immediately remove such links.
